Firefox 3 - be careful of embarrassing titlesFirefox 3 - be careful of embarrassing titlesPosted May 19, 2008 18:23 UTC (Mon) by allesfresser (subscriber, #216)In reply to: Firefox 3 - be careful of embarrassing titles by proski Parent article: Firefox 3 Release Candidate available
In about:config, setting browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to zero (0) works for me... I hate autocompletion in almost any form. (Tab completion is another thing entirely. If I *ask* for completion, that's one thing, but to have a piece of code interrupt me because it thinks it knows what I want is really annoying. Especially when it's more often wrong than not.)

You should be able to type what you want as if there is no autocompletion. If it doesn't work that way, it's a bug. I've seen that bug in Internet Explorer, but not in any version of Mozilla Firefox.

Firefox 3 - be careful of embarrassing titles Posted May 19, 2008 21:25 UTC (Mon) by mikachu (guest, #5333) [Link] If you disable the dropdown, it seems tabcompletion is completely disabled as well... In fact even with the dropdown enabled if you press tab before it appears, it just switches focus away from the location entry...

I was actually meaning tab completion in e.g., bash. (shooting for a more general case than
just URL entry.) In addition, the "interruption" I notice is mental--when the completion list
pops up, my brain screeches to a momentary halt ("ah, what's this then?"), and has to rebuild
some context before continuing. It probably has more to do with mild symptoms of attention
deficit than anything else, but since that seems to be fairly common these days, I'm probably
not the only one...
